Front or rear? Are you currently on springs?

The rear should be a bolt in affair for the Koni yellows unless I'm mistaken. What year car specifically? I don't think there have been any changes to the rear struts that I am aware of.

Front's are a whole can of worms for the Koni setup. If you're on OEM fronts Id stick with it unless you are blowing struts from lowering springs. In that case, depending on budget a set of coil overs might be in order.

Front. I'm currently on h&r sport lines but the drivers side strut was leaking before I got the springs put on. I'm going to be trading this car in next June so would it be smarter to go OEM?

Does Koni make front struts for the 9th gen @Nix?

It's an insert that needs to be assembled and some custom fab work done. It involves cutting the strut and such. It's not a bolt in affair, hence if he is trading the car in, get an OEM replacement for the time being.
